Chapter 1226: General Kizaru Arrives at Island No. 1
"Admiral Kizaru's observation tower has received information that the mission target has been observed. Drought Jack and Fozzie F from the Beasts Pirates have been confirmed to appear on the shore of Island No. 1."
The sailor reported the battlefield situation to his admiral. Kizaru liked to lie on the sun lounger to rest, but it was a pity that it was late at night and the sun was not visible yet.
Kizaru hasn't seen the sunrise for a long time. As the admiral who advocates health the most, he has the best sleep quality and sleep time, and he almost never goes out on missions at night.
This time he was unlucky as he was "targeted" by Marshal Sengoku. Although the navy did not trust Borsalino's attitude, they believed very much in his speed.
The grand auction has just ended successfully. Even if the two leaders of the Beasts Pirates put on wings and flew across the Red Earth Continent, Kizaru could catch up with them if he wanted to.
The Navy agreed with the organizer of the auction that they would not launch an armed attack on the Pandora venue during the opening ceremony, and the agreement would be automatically terminated after the closing, and the Navy could find reasons to intercept any bidder.
The navy is not interested in the slaves in the hands of the Celestial Dragons, but they are determined to get the Thunder Dragon Fruit obtained by the pirates.
Who would complain about having an extra powerful devil fruit in their warehouse? If Admiral Kizaru had been more serious and snatched the Thunder Dragon Fruit, his previous mistakes would have been written off and there would have been less criticism of him within the navy.
"If we can seize the Thunder Dragon Fruit, it is possible to train a navy admiral. The Marshal really trusts me." Kizaru pushed away the sunglasses on his nose and felt the night breeze blowing freely.
Marshal Sengoku is quite good at diverting conflicts. Although the auction value of the Thunder Dragon Fruit is inflated, if he really snatches it from the pirates, Admiral Kizaru's reputation will improve internally.
Who to give the Thunder Fruit to after snatching it is a particularly big problem. A mythical beast dragon-type fruit that manipulates the power of thunder has an attack strength that is no weaker than that of a natural type. It would be a waste if it were given to a mediocre person.
Most of the powerful navy members today are fruit ability users, and they fight by relying on their fruit abilities.
The first person that came to Borsalino's mind was the navy hero who loved picking his nose. Although Garp was no longer in his prime, the old man could unleash the strongest power of the Thunder Dragon Fruit.
If Garp eats the Thunder Dragon Fruit, the Navy will have two more Garps in terms of combat power. With the powerful domineering aura and the physical blessing of the mythical beast species, the old man's combat power will definitely be raised to a higher level.
"Kuzan might agree, but Sakaski will definitely not. It's really difficult to make a decision," Admiral Kizaru said to himself. He was considering whether to use his true strength to snatch the Thunder Dragon Fruit.
The Thunder Dragon Fruit appeared in the hands of the navy, which might subvert the unity within the navy. Marshal Sengoku passed this burden to Kizaru, and in fact he was prepared for the possibility of failure. It was really insidious.
This time the navy sent out a warship just to serve as a means of transportation. The original intention of the Navy Marshal was to let Admiral Kizaru go on the adventure alone.
The warship was docked dozens of nautical miles away from Island No. 1, and the rest of the journey depended on Kizaru himself. "It's really troublesome, and they gave me a difficult task. I really don't want to take it."
Admiral Kizaru stood up from the sun chair and straightened his clothes a little. He cared a lot about his image, but unfortunately, no matter how gorgeous his clothes were, they could not hide his vulgar temperament.
The two sailors put a cloak of justice on the admiral, and with bright eyes, they saluted to Admiral Kizaru, hoping that he would be victorious and the mission of snatching the Thunder Dragon Fruit would go smoothly.
"It would not be fun if we lure the big pirates out." Under the gaze of the navy, Kizaru's elemental body instantly turned into a golden light and rushed to Island No. 1 of the project archipelago at a speed close to the speed of light.
After the admiral left, the navy couldn't help but whisper, "Can Admiral Kizaru do it?"
"The combined bounties of the two leaders of the Beasts Pirates are less than 2 billion. There is absolutely no problem for the Admiral to take action."
"The warships should retreat a dozen nautical miles to avoid being affected by the battle."
Everyone on the warship unanimously agreed to save the ship and the people. Without the admiral's consent, the warship raised its anchor and moved backwards, retreating a full twenty nautical miles before all the officers and soldiers felt relieved.
Admiral Kizaru didn't pay attention to his subordinates' small movements. While on the way, he was thinking in his mind whether the benefits of offending the Beasts Pirates and capturing two cadres into the underwater prison were proportional to the risks.
As an excellent navy who works from nine to five, if you want Kizaru to fight the sea emperor to the death, you might as well bet on how fast he runs. Those sea emperors are the real monsters, and you can't afford to provoke them even if you don't want to.
"Marshal Sengoku is really making things difficult for me. If Altria comes to power, will her attitude towards me be better?" Kizaru fantasized that under the rule of the female marshal, he could earn more money and do less work.
Foz F stood together with his good brother Leomon, officially facing Magnetman Kidd who was flying in the air, Crocodile and Mrs. Muzan who were joining in the fun, and they felt a little pressure on the front.
The longer time drags on, the more people who will come and be interested in the Thunder Dragon Fruit. By then, it will be difficult for the two members of the Beast Pirates to leave. The devil fruit worth 50 billion berries is too tempting.
For the Thunder Dragon Fruit, which is enough to challenge the wrath of Kaido, the King of Beasts, the mythical beast dragon fruit is too rare, even rarer than the natural fruit. If you miss this opportunity, it will take many years for the next one to be born.
Kidd, wearing a simple helmet, is a pirate supernova who has just broken the 100 million mark. Foz F does not take him seriously for the time being. Even if the power of his fruit is very strong, he is just a sitting duck without Haki.
Crocodile, who has cleansed his identity as a pirate and returned to the shore, is the enemy that needs to be focused on. His natural Sand-Sand Fruit is not weak. He was able to challenge Whitebeard and survive, which is enough to prove the value of Crocodile's Sand Fruit.
"Crocodile, you have a grudge against Whitebeard, are you going to offend Kaido today?" Foz-Fo wanted to use the reputation of the strongest creature to dissuade a natural devil fruit user.
Foz Furbyjack's brain is quite flexible. He knows that some unnecessary battles can be avoided. Just now, he called Black Maria's Den Den Mushi, and that bad woman is next to Kaido.
The saber-toothed tiger man took out a Den Den Mushi from his arms. At this moment, he had received a response. The Den Den Mushi acted drunk, simulating Kaido's current drunken state.
Kaido's voice came from the Den Den Mushi: "You little bastard who plays with sand. Whitebeard didn't kill you on the spot because he is kind-hearted. If you dare to steal the Thunder Dragon Fruit today, I will destroy your country of sand tomorrow."
Even if it were Kaido from before, it would not be difficult for him to destroy a country in the first half of the Grand Line with his hard power.
The current Kaido has been reborn. Normally, fragile nature-types will be killed instantly when they encounter Kaido, and it is useless even if their domineering power cannot withstand their elemental transformation.
The power that Nika brought to Kaido far exceeded the training in the past twenty years, and as time went by and the sun was shining for a longer time, the King of Beasts became stronger every day.
